WRECKED BY NATURE.
A Few Instances of tho Destruction of
Railway Trains by storms.


In "Wonders and Curiosities of the
Railway some remarkable incidents
are related of the destruction of rail-
road trains by storms. At Kiowa, Kan
sas, in the year 1873, a locomotive was
swept from railroad embankment by
water-spout and lost in a quicksand;
it has never beo< found.
In the summer of 1880, the town Of
Monotony, on the Kansas Pacific rail
road, was visited by terrible thunder
storm and water-spout over six thou
sand feet of track was washed away,
and the prairie lay eight feet under
water During the occurrence of this
storm an entire freight-train was lost.
1t has never been found-not a trace of
it-although the owners spent twenty
five hundred dollars in the search. 1t
is supposed that the train was swept
away and buried under q land-slip.
This is surely one of the strangest mis-
haps ever chroniclcd! Some future
geologist may have a treasure-trove in
this buried train, or in its impression
on the rock.
At Potter Station, on the Union
Pacific railroad, in the autumn of 1875,
train was just pulling out from the
station, when u storm began, and i'll ten
IIseeends three was such fury of hail
and wind that the engineer doomed it
best to stop the locomotive. The hail
stones were simply great chunks of ice,
many IF them three or four inches in
diameter, and of all shapes-squares,
cones, cubes and balls. The first stone
| that struck the train broke a window,
and the flying glass severely injured a
lady on the face. Five minutes after
wards there was not whole light OF
GLASS on the south side of the train. Tho
| windows in the Pullman cars were OF
French plate, three-eights Of an inch
thick, and double. The hail broke both
thickuesses and tore the curtains into
shreds. The wooden shutters. too, were
| smashed, and many of the mirrors were
! broken. The deck-lights on the top Of
! the cars were also demolished. The
! dome of the engine was dented as if il
| had been pounded with heavy weight
| and the woodwork on the south side o.
the cars was plowed as if some one hac
J struck it all over with sliding blows
! from hammer. The storm LASTED
twenty minutes, and when the trair
moved on the wheels crunched through
hail-stones drifted so deep as to impede
progress for some miles. - Youth'S Com

little dear said she would, and went up

SPIRITS OF THE SEA.
Ghosts Which Are Said to Have Appeared
to Seafaring Men.


Popular tradition asserts that the
ghost of young man lost at sea APP
peared to his mother in Cornwall, and
that of an officer of the nary appeared
to his wife. At Nora, in Cornwall,
the Lady Sybilla sits on the rocks, look
ing seaward for wrecks. The appari-
ton of smuggling crew, dripping
wet, was also seen, portending the
wreck that followed. A pilot at st,
Ives received q ghostly warning in the
vision of man, his mouth filled with
seaweed and his shoes with sand. In a
Cornish legend, the specter of prlva-
teer captain goes off in thunder cloud
in a mysterious ship. In the same
story, the ghost of a shipwrecked
sailor appears. In another tale SINH
lar specter appears, and carries off his
waiting bride. The ghosts of ship
wrecked mariners arc seen, and their
cries heard, from the waves in certain
bay on Cornish coast. Scotch fisher
men and sailors have many stories
of these ghosts. The ghost of muir
dered lady appears to her lover
at sea, in tale by Gregor, coming in
the shape of a bright light assuming
the human form as it draws nearer.
She finally calls him, and he springs in
to her arms and disappears in a flash of
fire. In another legend, an officer sees
in a vision two boatmen bringing in the
body of third Soon afteward, this
actually occurred, the boat in which
they were having been capsized. The
specter of woman, who died on the
scaffold, is said to have appeared to her
sailor lover, who had promised to be
faithful to her, living or dead. 1t came
in gale, accompanied by storm cloud,
accompanied by gigantic figure. The
vessel was, meanwhile, Sorely storm
beaten. but was delivered, when these
apparitions obtained possession of the
tailor. On Solway Firth, the ghost of a
murdered lady appears in blaze of fire.
On a small island, near Windermei
Scotland, called Lodges Holm, there l.
quarry called The Crier of Claife.
An old legend says, a ferryman was
hailed on dark night from the island,
and went over He came back, after a
long absence, after having seen some
horrible sights, which he ever after
refused to relate, and soon after he be-
came monk. Afterward the same cry
was heard, and the monk went over, and
succeeded in laying the ghost in the
quarry, where it still is.-F BaSSett.

81 am subject to one form of persecu-
ton in this country" said an English
man to me the other day, (which find
quite intolerable, though can't in the
least blame my prosecutors. You know
l speak quite like an Englishman, natu-
rally, and conduct myself quite like
one. as matter of course Really. in
asmuch as I've been on this side only a
month, you see, and am going home in
another month, it would hardly be
worth my while to attempt to master
the accent and the manners of the
country, don't you know. Now, I'm
not in the least unwilling to be taken
for an Englishman: that l am rather
proud of, in fact. But I'm not taken
for an Englishman, and there's the dis
agreeable feature of the thing. I'm
constantly taken, don't you see, for an
Anglomanic Yankee, beastly cad
whose native country isn't good enough
for him, and who caricatures rs in q
wild attempt to initiate us. To be taken
for an Irish dynamiter or Russian
Nihilist would be q comparative COM
pliment. The other day l called on a
friend in the city to whom l had let
ter, and as he wasn't in fell into a lit
tic parley with the young men of the
outer office about his return, and the
like. Then l sat down in the inner
office to wait bit for him. Presently
l heard, over the half-partition, one of
the young men say softly to his com
panions, with an imitation of my own
accent: Bah jove! not bad, don't you!
Is it natural or acquired?' Painfully
acquainted, deah Geographically ac-
quiahed.' said the other, in the same
tone. 'Cahn't be done in Il day, deah

him one-and-tweuty months-yaas,

novels made with the teeth-really
very clever, you know. Then I heard
% maddening chuckle from the two.
This is very much the sort of treatment
that get everywhere, Sometimes men
look as if they were going to kick me,
until they learn that I'm really an En-
glishman and then they're the best and

Really, it's very natural to treat me so,
but it's deucedly unpleasant to be made
odious in q strange land by a set Of cads,

Thieving Sparrows.

The other morning a resident of a
quiet street much frequented by spar.
rows was awakened by mournful
noise, something like peep of young
bird and the chatter of an old one, but
neither very loud nor peremptory.
Looking up from her pillow, she beheld
two sparrows on the sill of the open
window, tugging away at a knot Of
blue wool that had been tied for some
fancy work and left on the table be-
side the window the previous night.
The object of the sparrows was burglary,
for they had not only entered the win
dow, but had dragged their plumber
nearly out of it before discovered. The
lady looked on with breathless interest
and finally had the satisfaction of seeing
the latest burglar fly away with the
spoils, closely followed by his pal
Boston Beacon.
